Serious Question
[edit]Is it a prerequisite that a person must be Jewish to win a Nobel Prize? --64.12.116.68 03:01, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
- No, ask Yasser Arafat! It is just that Jews are grossly over-represented when it comes to winning them - they have won 18% of Nobel Prizes I believe, despite making up less then 0.25% of the world's population. Batmanand | Talk 08:25, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
Father's Nobel Prize
[edit]I reverted the deletion of the fact that Roger Kornberg's father won the Nobel Prize, by the editor logged in as Kornberg. He said that it was irrelevant information; I don't see why it's irrelevant. [Excuse my typo in the talk box]
Of course, just because he calls himself Kornberg doesn't mean that his name really is Kornberg, or that he's Roger Kornberg. If he is, the way to deal with his own biography is discussed in WP:BLPHELP, and among other things he should identify himself. Nbauman (talk) 04:19, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
